Hi, if you have wisdom teeth, please don't get them removed if you can help it. I knw sometimes it's unavoidable, but many dentist and oral surgeons are the cause of jawbone cavitations because they remove teeth without removing the periodontal ligament or cleaning out the area properly. Then the top of the gum heals over and sadly, often the bone underneath does not because there is a rotting ligament preventing proper healthy blood flow or the allowance of bone to grow over.
On top of this, dentists and oral surgeons use vaso-constrictors in their local anaesthetics, to shut down blood flow as much as they can so they can numb the area more. This causes lack of circulation and then another reason for risk of cavitation.
You are better off with wisdom teeth, unless they are on a bad angle or you're in pain. Many people have had ther lives ruined by having teeth extracted.
Don't be one of them. If you have to have it done, go to a biologic dentist who knows what cavitations are and will make sure you dont have any, but also make sure he doesn't CAUSE any. One that knows to remove the periodontal ligament and one that does not use vaso constrictors in the local anaesthetic.
Keep your wisdom teeth if you can.
